In much of the EU that was previously USSR people keep dogs. Most people who have a house have a dog and a fence to protect their stuff. The louder and meaner the dog barks, the more afraid people are, even if the dog acts like a chicken when a stranger in is the yard.
What is a pain is when you need to meet someone at their house and you can't get in because there is a mean dog in the yard and no doorbell button on the gate. You can always call them though, assuming that they have a phone.
